A new project in the Mendeleevsky district of the Russian Republic of Tatarstan aims to establish a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) for the production of hydrogen. This NPP is set to be the centerpiece of the Alabuga-Mendeleevsk special economic zone, with an expected investment of RUB500 billion ($6 billion). The first two key residents of the zone are Ammonium-2 and a hydrogen station, a joint project of Rosatom and the Ministry of Industry & Trade. Rosatom's Afrikantov Design Bureau is progressing with a project for the NPP, currently in the research and development stage. The technical design of the reactor plant has been finalized, comprising a nuclear part, heat transfer system, and a chemical and technological part - a chemical plant. Additionally, the Scientific Research Institute NPO LUCH, under Rosatom, has initiated work on an experimental hydrogen production facility, with plans to launch a pilot plant soon. Construction of the NPP is planned to commence in 2028, with four units to be operational by 2035. The facility is projected to produce 400,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually, primarily catering to the chemical production at Ammonium-2, known for ammonia and carbamide used in mineral fertilizers.
